Previous reports have shown improvements in mood and increases in endocannabinoids in healthy adults following a session of aerobic exercise, but it is unclear whether adults with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) experience similar responses. The purpose of this study was to examine psychobiological responses (plasma endocannabinoids [eCBs], mood, and pain) to aerobic exercise in a sample of adults with a diagnosis of PTSD (n = 12) and healthy controls (n = 12). Participants engaged in an aerobic exercise session in which they ran on a treadmill for 30 min at a moderate intensity (70 to 75% maximum heart rate [MHR]). Results indicated improvements in mood states and reductions in pain for both groups following exercise, ds = 0.19 to 1.53. Circulating concentrations of N-arachidonylethanolamine (AEA), 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG), and oleoylethanolamide (OEA) significantly increased (ps = .000 to .050) following the aerobic exercise session for both groups. There were no significant time, group, or interaction effects (ps = .062 to .846) for palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) and 2-oleoylglycerol (2-OG). Although eCBs increased significantly for both groups, within-group effect size calculations indicated the healthy controls experienced a greater magnitude of change for AEA when compared with adults with PTSD, d = 1.21 and d = 0.45, respectively; as well as for 2-AG, d = 0.43 and d = 0.21, respectively. The findings from this study indicated that adults with and without PTSD reported significant mood improvements following 30 min of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise. In addition, the endocannabinoid system was activated in adults with and without PTSD, although effect sizes suggest that adults with PTSD may have a blunted endocannabinoid response to exercise.
先前的报告表明,健康成年人在进行一次有氧运动后,情绪得到改善,内源性大麻素增加,但患有创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)的成年人是否有类似的反应尚不清楚。本研究的目的是在患有 PTSD(n=12)和健康对照组(n=12)的成年人样本中,检查有氧运动的心理生物学反应(血浆内源性大麻素[eCB]、情绪和疼痛)。参与者进行了一次有氧运动,他们在跑步机上以中等强度(最大心率[MHR]的 70%至 75%)跑步 30 分钟。结果表明,两组参与者在运动后情绪状态改善,疼痛减轻,ds 值为 0.19 至 1.53。循环浓度的 N-花生四烯酸乙醇胺(AEA)、2-花生四烯酸甘油(2-AG)和油酰乙醇胺(OEA)在两组中均显著增加(ps=.000 至.050)。两组的棕榈酰乙醇胺(PEA)和 2-油酰甘油(2-OG)均无显著的时间、组间或交互效应(ps=.062 至.846)。尽管两组的 eCB 均显著增加,但组内效应大小计算表明,与 PTSD 成年人相比,健康对照组的 AEA 变化幅度更大,d 值分别为 1.21 和 0.45;2-AG 的 d 值分别为 0.43 和 0.21。本研究的结果表明,患有和不患有 PTSD 的成年人在进行 30 分钟中等强度有氧运动后报告情绪显著改善。此外,内源性大麻素系统在患有和不患有 PTSD 的成年人中被激活,尽管效应大小表明患有 PTSD 的成年人可能对运动的内源性大麻素反应迟钝。
